How the ISAT reports it

Idaho ISAT is a state assessment administered to grades 3–8 and 11 and reported against Idaho grade-level content standards rather than a separate national testing framework. The public ISAT page points to summative blueprints and math specifications, while the Idaho Content Standards page shows the math program is organized by grade-band/domain progressions aligned to Idaho standards.

Blueprint & weighting

The public Idaho ISAT page references summative blueprints and item specifications, but the accessible official page content did not expose a published domain-by-domain percentage blueprint for math.

Solve for all values of x.x\textsf{.}

x3=−64x^{3} = -64

(−4)×(−4)×(−4)=−64,(-4) \times (-4) \times (-4) = -64\textsf{,} so x=−4.x = -4\textsf{.}

Evaluate 1253.\sqrt[\text{\scriptsize 3}]{125}\textsf{.}

5×5×5=125,5 \times 5 \times 5 = 125\textsf{,} so 1253=5.\sqrt[\text{\scriptsize 3}]{125} = 5\textsf{.}

27⋅2426=2n.\dfrac{2^{7} \cdot 2^{4}}{2^{6}} = 2^{n}\textsf{.} What is n?n\textsf{?}

The Product of Powers Property says that powers with the same base are multiplied by adding the exponents, written xm⋅xn=xm+n.x^{m} \cdot x^{n} = x^{m+n}\textsf{.} The numerator is 27⋅24=27+4=211.2^{7} \cdot 2^{4} = 2^{7+4} = 2^{11}\textsf{.} The Quotient of Powers Property then subtracts the exponents of powers with the same base, written xmxn=xm−n.\dfrac{x^{m}}{x^{n}} = x^{m-n}\textsf{.} So 21126=211−6=25\dfrac{2^{11}}{2^{6}} = 2^{11-6} = 2^{5} and n=5.n = 5\textsf{.}

Let f(t)=8e3t+50f(t) = 8e^{3t} + 50. Which of the following approximations, written as a×10na \times 10^n with one significant digit, is closest to the value of f(2)f(2)?

Substitute t=2t = 2: f(2)=8e6+50f(2) = 8e^{6} + 50. Since e6≈403.4e^{6} \approx 403.4, f(2)≈8(403.4)+50=3,277≈3×103f(2) \approx 8(403.4) + 50 = 3{,}277 \approx 3 \times 10^{3}.

Which expression is 0.00750.0075 in scientific notation?

Moving the decimal in 0.00750.0075 three places right gives 7.5×10−3.7.5 \times 10^{-3}\textsf{.}

What is (3×102)(3×103)(3 \times 10^{2})(3 \times 10^{3}) in scientific notation?

Coefficients multiply to 9;9\textsf{;} exponents add: 2+3=5.2 + 3 = 5\textsf{.} So (3×102)(3×103)=9×105.(3 \times 10^{2})(3 \times 10^{3}) = 9 \times 10^{5}\textsf{.}

Which of these linear systems has no solution?

The first equation gives y=−2x+5.y = -2x + 5\textsf{.} The second simplifies to y=−2x+6,y = -2x + 6\textsf{,} so the slopes match but the intercepts differ and the system has no solution.

{3x+4y=10x−2y=1\begin{cases} 3x + 4y = 10 \\ x - 2y = 1 \end{cases}

How many solutions does the given system of equations have?

Rewrite in slope-intercept form: y=−34x+52y = -\dfrac{3}{4}x + \dfrac{5}{2} and y=12x−12y = \dfrac{1}{2}x - \dfrac{1}{2}. The slopes −34-\dfrac{3}{4} and 12\dfrac{1}{2} are different, so the lines intersect at exactly one point.
